The "real workhorses". Not polished and pampered like the 398. Looks better than it did new. Easy for it when this pair are doing the work, and it only for posing. :rolleyes::)
That's one of the last 168s with the Lambourn cab. 2 nice honest tractors.

My trusty MF698, ****e cab and all. It's the tractor i learned to drive on. Still mechanically sound bar the brakes, which pull to one side or the other no matter how they are adjusted

I've no plans in changing her any way. 30e for ignition switch and another switch. And she's slot safer now.
Dad found a s/h 4wd unit in cork last yr but we never followed it up

The 168 belonged to his father so it's part of the landscape at this stage

15 euro for us as We use the smaller 4 sod behind the tractor. Don't know what is a 10 sod hopper. That self propelled throws them out.

Thanks be to jaysus we have no bogs down here. Come to think of it we always had strawberries to be picked. Trust me, every bit as bad as footing turf.

10 sod hopper here is €70 I think but she's a sow. I fecking HATE the bog I'd rather sit down with the mother in law for a chat than go to the bog. The lads here turn it by machine and all but bringing it home is still to much.

The turning by machine is only a balls of a job. Is it the tractor one or quad one

Why do you say that, never saw one working apart from on youtube, thought it looked a might job! Have no love for the bog either though.

It breaks up the sod too much plus the sod might not turn right so won't dry. So would have to be turned again leading to more breakages.

Never seen it I'll try get a pic when they are at it. I think this is a home invention from local lads that work the bog for a few generations.
